MA code on mail piece must be presented at a banking center or referenced when opening account by phone to receive bonus.

I went there today and they denied me since I did not have a postcard.

I can verify that transferring from USAA does indeed trigger the bonus for this. Deposit posted yesterday, bonus was in my account today.

Opened an account for myself just fine 2 days ago. Tried to open one for my wife today and the rep refused to open it; saying I needed the postcard rather than just the MA code.

Note:Still have no received my debit card. Already had them resend it onceWhat did the ACH push from ING show up as in your account? I did ING push last Thursday and I still haven't received the bonus.

Hopefully they haven't gotten wise like with verifying the address received a mailer...

For those who got the bonus, would you mind sharing what is the description of the DD/ACH push transaction? Did you have to make initial deposit in the branch before doing DD/ACH? TIA

ALLY BANK $TRANSFER

I never set foot in a branch. The bonus posted on the same day my Ally ACH push arrived.

Same question.

I opened an account last month (DD within 2 weeks; $200 posted almost immediately) by going to my local branch (1/2 mile away) with a postcard that said the deal expired June 30th . I just received another post card in the mail with the same offer code (MA code 10387) but now the deal expires July 31st. I'd open another account under my wife's name for another easy $200; but the card specifically states, in bold type - "One offer per account per household".

So has anyone had success with two accounts (under two different people) at the same address?

Edit: I can confirm: - No hard pull - soft pull & chex systems. - Only 90 day requirement for the account to remain open.

I'll answer my own question...I went in to the local branch and asked the question directly.

The answer - Yes you can - if the expiration dates on the two offers are different. Since my offer expired June 30th; my wife was free to also open a checking account and will get the $200 bonus since the new post card has an offer that ends July 31st.

Easy $400 for us; extremely short 90 day duration requirement to avoid early closing fee; and not even a hard pull....

They should all be this easy…

I opened my account early July. Simply called to open it with the MA code. Had to step into a branch to make my opening deposit ($50). I did an ACH transfer of $101 from EverBank. The $200 bonus automatically posted the same day my ACH push posted. Easiest $200 ever~

Just wanted to be sure they don't have any clauses pertaining to previous bonuses or accounts... How did you close the account? What's easiest way to close it?

Just a reminder to some of those that got in on the original offer from the OP....I just surpassed 90 days from account opening which means it is time to look into closing down this account.

I called to cancel my account yesterday. CSR said she needed to speak to her supervisor, put me on hold, and then confirmed that she could close the account.

I closed it a week ago after 3 calls. On my first call, they told me i had to close the account in person. But when i told them i don't have a branch in our city they told me to contact the closest branch in another city. First call to the branch they told me i have to mail them a request lette. Second call to the branch said no mailing necessary, that they would take my request on the phone right there.
